A quick sketch

I gave up my black sharpie and watercolors for just a green marker yesterday. Then I wet it with plain water to blend a bit. I overdid it in spots and lost my line entirely but I wasn't shooting for perfection....

I have been obsessed with following Danny Gregory....well, his blog, not him of course, (sorry for the lack of a link but the computer virus was apparently NOT gone so I'm back on the Ipad and I don't know how to add links fron Flickr). He is starting to work through the EveryDayMatters challenges so I thought I'd sketch along and try to do the challenges in order too.(He has a link to all of them on one of his recent posts if you want to play along as well). So, I added an even quicker sketch of the sandals I wear everyday, well of one actually, as sketching your shoes was the first ADM challenge. I have just finished the sketchbook I started a month or so ago so I will need to start a new one next week! You know how much I lOVE to do that! This new one is a moleskin with thin paper that won't take watercolors so I 'll have to go to pen and colored pencil or I think I read somewhere where that paper would hold up to Guache paint so we'll see.... I always get excited about a new book but I will miss this one as I really loved it. It was just a plain old Strathmore visual journal but I really liked it. See you tomorow with a new mandala for the summer of color....

Great sketches. I'm a real sandal person too, although this summer I've gone a stage further and it's a pair of flip flops that rarely leave my feet. They are made by Caterpillar who make digger trucks, but I haven't done much earth excavation in them yet...
